9 Books That Predicted the Future – And No 1984 Is Not One Of The Books But Could Have Been

On the other hand I did read “The Machine Stops” (one of the listed books dating from 1909) and thoroughly enjoyed it as the author really hits the nail on the head, even though the terminology and technology was completely unknown at the time of writing.

Some of these predictions came true in such eerie detail that you have to wonder though whether fiction is as fictitious as it claims.
